summary
We were engaged to lead the finance and accounting functions for a $240M apparel manufacturer during its sell-side process.
Our team improved key business processes and controls, developed automated financial models, and managed the full spectrum of QoE, investment banking, and buyer requests that enabled management to focus on operations while navigating a successful sale.
results
Sell-Side Support: Delivered a dynamic forecasting model to consolidate add-on acquisitions, supported all financial and operational data requests, and advised management through QoE and banking diligence.
Quality of Earnings: Identified financial reporting discrepancies that increased valuation and strengthened negotiation leverage, while mitigating post-sale risk from inconsistent accounting practices.
Office of CFO Support: Provided timely operational metrics and cleaned up years of stale balance sheet items, while cutting the month-end close from 45–60 days to 10 days (the company was three months behind when we were engaged).
Conclusion
This engagement provided the company and its private equity sponsor with clean, reliable financials and operational transparency, which ultimately accelerated the sale process and maximized value.
